The Honda SUV lineup gives Metro Vancouver drivers five distinct choices, each built for a different life. The HR-V handles tight city parking in Burnaby and Richmond. The CR-V and CR-V Hybrid cover the daily grind across Greater Vancouver. The Passport heads toward Squamish and Tofino. The Pilot carries the whole family to the Okanagan and back. And the Prologue runs on pure electricity. As of this year, no other mainstream brand packages this much variety with standard Honda Sensing safety technology across the entire range.

This article breaks down every model in the Honda SUV lineup so you can figure out which one fits your driving reality here in British Columbia. Whether you're working through rainy Highway 1 traffic or loading gear for a Whistler trip, there's a Honda SUV built for how you actually drive.

The City-Smart Honda HR-V

The HR-V is the smallest Honda SUV, and it's one of the most popular choices in dense urban areas like Burnaby, Richmond, and downtown Vancouver. It fits into tight spots. It sips fuel. And it still gives you genuine SUV versatility.

Under the hood sits a 2.0-litre DOHC VTEC 4-cylinder producing up to 158 hp and 138 lb-ft of torque, paired with a CVT. Fuel economy comes in at 8.3 L/100 km combined on the front-wheel-drive model and 8.7 L/100 km with Real Time AWD.

Cargo space is generous for the size, topping out at 1,559 litres with the rear seats folded. That's enough for a Costco run, hockey bags, or a weekend's worth of camping gear.

Every HR-V comes standard with Honda Sensing, Forward Collision Warning, Collision Mitigation Braking, Lane Keeping Assist, Adaptive Cruise Control with Low-Speed Follow, and more. A 9-inch colour touchscreen with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto is also standard across all trims.

Available features include a one-touch power moonroof, heated leather-trimmed seats, a heated leather-wrapped steering wheel, and wireless charging. For the current model year, the Sport trim adds Gloss Black 18-inch aluminum-alloy wheels for a sharper look.

The CR-V and CR-V Hybrid at the Heart of the Lineup

The CR-V anchors the Honda SUV lineup for good reason. It balances size, efficiency, capability, and technology in a way that works for a wide range of buyers across Greater Vancouver. For the current model year, both a gas and hybrid variant are available.

Gas-Powered CR-V

The gas CR-V runs a 1.5-litre turbocharged 4-cylinder making up to 190 hp and 179 lb-ft of torque. Combined fuel economy sits at 7.8 L/100 km on the 2WD model and 8.4 L/100 km with Real Time AWD.

CR-V Hybrid Trims

The CR-V Hybrid is where Honda truly shines. Four hybrid trims are available: Sport Hybrid, TrailSport Hybrid, EX-L Hybrid, and Touring Hybrid. All use a 2.0-litre Atkinson-cycle engine paired with two electric motors, producing up to 204 hp and 247 lb-ft of torque. Combined fuel economy drops as low as 6.4 L/100 km with Real Time AWD.

Real Time AWD with Intelligent Control System comes standard on every hybrid CR-V. That matters on Vancouver's rain-soaked roads, especially through North Van's mountain corridors and the Sea-to-Sky Highway.

Here's what sets each hybrid trim apart:

• Sport Hybrid delivers the core hybrid experience with Honda Sensing, a 9-inch touchscreen, and drive modes including Normal, ECON, Snow, and Sport
• TrailSport Hybrid adds all-terrain tires and rugged exterior styling for gravel roads and BC cottage country
• EX-L Hybrid steps up interior comfort
• Touring Hybrid tops the range with a 12-speaker BOSE audio system, Google built-in (Google Maps, Google Assistant, Google Play), and a power tailgate with programmable height

Every CR-V, gas or hybrid, includes Honda Sensing as standard. That suite covers Collision Mitigation Braking, Blind Spot Information, Adaptive Cruise Control with Low-Speed Follow, Traffic Sign Recognition, Driver Attention Monitor, and Cross Traffic Monitor.

The Adventure-Ready Honda Passport

The Passport is the midsize, five-seat Honda SUV built around off-road readiness. If your weekends involve BC's logging roads, provincial park trailheads, or the ferry to Vancouver Island with gear piled high, the Passport earns its name.

Every Passport comes standard with i-VTM4 intelligent Variable Torque Management AWD. There's no front-wheel-drive option here. This system actively distributes torque for confident handling on wet, snowy, or loose surfaces, exactly the conditions you encounter on Vancouver Island or the Coquihalla.

The powertrain is a 3.5-litre direct-injected DOHC V6 producing up to 285 hp and 262 lb-ft of torque, mated to a 10-speed automatic. Seven drive modes, Sport, Normal, ECON, Snow, Trail, Sand, and Tow, let you adapt to conditions on the fly.

Key Passport features include a 12.3-inch touchscreen centre display, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, wireless charging, Hill Descent Control, 60/40 split folding second-row seats, underfloor storage compartments, a heavy-duty trailer hitch, front recovery hooks, and the available Honda TrailWatch camera system. Honda Sensing is standard across all trims, with Low-Speed Braking Control and Traffic Jam Assist added on top of the full suite. The TrailSport and TrailSport Touring trims lean further into rugged capability with off-road tuned suspension and 18-inch wheels.

According to the Honda Canada Passport page, the Passport is engineered specifically for buyers who want genuine off-road capability without sacrificing on-road comfort.

The Three-Row Honda Pilot

Need three rows? The Pilot seats up to eight passengers and still tows up to 5,000 lbs (2,268 kg). For families in Surrey, Langley, or anywhere across the Lower Mainland, the Pilot handles school runs, road trips to the Okanagan, and everything in between.

Power comes from a 3.5-litre direct-injection V6 with up to 285 hp and 262 lb-ft of torque, paired with a 10-speed automatic and standard second-generation i-VTM4 AWD. Variable Cylinder Management switches between six and three cylinders to conserve fuel. Combined fuel economy ranges from 11.0 to 11.8 L/100 km depending on trim.

The Pilot features a 12.3-inch touchscreen as standard. Available upgrades include a 12-speaker BOSE Premium Audio System, a one-touch power panoramic moonroof, and a multi-view camera system. CabinTalk, the in-cabin PA system, comes standard so the driver can communicate clearly with third-row passengers. Drive modes include Normal, ECON, Snow, Sport, and Tow, with Trail and Sand available on TrailSport. A power tailgate with programmable height, an idle-stop system, and Eco Assist all come standard as well.

The Prologue Goes All-Electric

The all-electric Honda SUV, the Prologue, is available at select dealers in British Columbia, Ontario, and Quebec. Carter Honda on Burrard Street in Vancouver carries it.

The Prologue runs a dual-motor AWD setup producing up to 300 hp and 355 lb-ft of torque. Its 3,094 mm wheelbase is one of the longest in its class, which translates directly to a spacious cabin. Three trims are offered: EX, EX-L, and Touring.

Charging is straightforward. DC fast charging (Level 3) handles quick top-ups, and Level 2 home charging covers daily needs. The Honda NACS-CCS adapter gives access to the Tesla Supercharger network, which has made long-distance EV travel across BC considerably more practical for Prologue owners.

Standard features include Honda Sensing, Google built-in with three years included, HondaLink with OnStar connectivity (three years of remote access), and wireless charging. Available features include a panoramic moonroof, Surround Vision System, and 21-inch aluminum-alloy wheels.

How to Pick the Right Honda SUV

Choosing between five SUVs comes down to how you drive, who rides with you, and what matters most. Here's a straightforward breakdown for Metro Vancouver drivers:

• Daily city commuter in Vancouver or Burnaby: HR-V
• Families wanting efficiency with AWD confidence: CR-V Hybrid
• Weekend adventurers heading to Squamish or Tofino: Passport
• Large families needing three rows and towing: Pilot

Frequently Asked Questions About the Honda SUV Lineup

Which Honda SUV gets the best fuel economy in 2026?

The CR-V Hybrid leads the lineup for fuel efficiency, achieving as low as 6.4 L/100 km combined with Real Time AWD. The HR-V follows at 8.3 L/100 km combined on its front-wheel-drive model. If fuel consumption is your top priority and you want SUV versatility, the CR-V Hybrid offers the strongest balance of space, power, and efficiency. For zero-tailpipe-emission driving, the Prologue runs entirely on electric power, though efficiency is measured differently. Contact Carter Honda for details on range and charging.

Does every Honda SUV come with all-wheel drive?

It depends on the model. The Passport and Pilot come standard with AWD on every trim. The CR-V Hybrid also features standard Real Time AWD across all four hybrid trims. The gas CR-V and HR-V offer AWD as an available option, with front-wheel drive as the base configuration. The Prologue uses a standard dual-motor AWD system. If AWD confidence matters for rainy Vancouver roads or mountain highway driving, most of the lineup has you covered, either standard or as an upgrade.

What is the Honda Sensing safety suite?

Honda Sensing is a standard driver-assist suite included on every Honda SUV sold in Canada. It covers Collision Mitigation Braking, Forward Collision Warning, Lane Keeping Assist, Adaptive Cruise Control with Low-Speed Follow, Road Departure Mitigation, and Blind Spot Information. Some models add extra features; the Passport includes Low-Speed Braking Control, and the CR-V includes a Driver Attention Monitor. You don't need to upgrade to a higher trim to get these features. They come standard across the entire Honda SUV lineup.

Can I tow with a Honda SUV?

Yes. The Pilot offers the highest towing capacity at up to 5,000 lbs (2,268 kg), making it a solid choice for trailers, boats, or lightweight campers. The Passport includes a heavy-duty trailer hitch. The Prologue supports up to 1,500 lbs of towing. The CR-V and HR-V are designed primarily for daily driving rather than towing. If towing is a regular need for weekend trips across British Columbia, the Pilot or Passport are the right choices to look at.

Is the Honda Prologue available in British Columbia?

Yes. The Prologue is available at select dealers in BC, Ontario, and Quebec for 2026. Carter Honda on Burrard Street in Vancouver carries it and specializes in helping buyers understand electric vehicle ownership, including charging setup and daily driving range. Three trims are offered (EX, EX-L, Touring), all with dual-motor AWD. DC fast charging and Tesla Supercharger access via the Honda NACS-CCS adapter make long-distance travel across BC practical.

How do the CR-V gas and CR-V Hybrid compare?

The gas CR-V uses a 1.5-litre turbocharged engine with up to 190 hp, while the Hybrid pairs a 2.0-litre Atkinson-cycle engine with two electric motors for up to 204 hp and 247 lb-ft of torque. The Hybrid achieves as low as 6.4 L/100 km combined versus 8.4 L/100 km for the gas AWD model. Hybrid trims also come with standard Real Time AWD. Both share the same Honda Sensing suite, 9-inch touchscreen, and 60/40 split fold-down rear seatback. Contact Carter Honda's sales team for current hybrid trim availability.
